Further, as per section 54(7) of the CGST Act, 2017, the final order for granting refund shall be issued within sixty days from the date of receipt of the complete application. Out of total taxpayers under GST, 64% were also registered under previous tax regime. No specific study has been undertaken on the impact of GST transition

64% of the total taxpayers registered under GST have transitioned from the previous tax regime to GST as on 2nd March, 2018.
